Chapter 558: Soul Fruit
Just on Luffy's side, when Anilu offered to go to Qinghai with Luffy, the form of the Great Route changed again.
After the Navy thoroughly reported the affairs of the Scarlet Legion, and at the same time the Scarlet Legion itself stood up and blew itself up, the sea itself became chaotic.
On one side, there are people who want to destroy these Scarlet Legions, and they want to drive these damned invaders out of their world, so they are fighting with the people and behemoths released by the Scarlet Legion from time to time.
On the other hand, the Scarlet Legion is also constantly sending out those men with very good strength, allowing them to constantly open altars around the world to transform those strong people with great potential.
So the two sides began to be on the great route, constantly contacting, constantly fighting, either one side to destroy the other, or the other side to seize all the people on this side, and then transform into their own people.
Of course, this kind of battle, because the navy went to the four seas to recruit troops earlier, and continued to develop in the four seas, suppressing those obviously deviant pirates, so this kind of battle was well controlled in the first half of the great route, and did not spread to the position of the four seas.
Of course, it is not that there are no people from the Scarlet Legion in the four seas, who sneaked into it to do something big, but they were all wiped out by the navy over there and some pirates who resolutely stood on the opposite side of the Scarlet Legion.
As for the second half of the Great Voyage, that is, the New World, although it is indeed a little turbulent compared to the Four Seas, it is still much better than the continuous battles in the first half of the Great Voyage.
The reason for this is, of course, because of the existence of Whitebeard and Redhead, during this period of time, the two of them continue to gather those strong people who are on their side for reasons, and at the same time, they are also cleaning up those who have entered the new world of the Scarlet Legion, in the case of the high-end combat power of the Scarlet Legion.
The Scarlet Legion in the New World can only choose to lurk, quietly tempting some people who are not strong-willed, tempting them to transform into the Scarlet Legion in order to gain eternal life.
And even if they tempted some people, they didn't dare to directly build an altar in the New World to transform those people, so they could only take them out of the New World and go to the first half of the Great Voyage.
Because the Navy in the New World has completely stood with Whitebeard and them, sharing intelligence for free, so for Whitebeard, there is nothing they don't know about in this New World.
It is precisely because of this that under the combined efforts of the pirate navy and the pirate hunters, they slowly gained the upper hand in the battle.
But these are only superficial, after all, if these Scarlet Legion people want to hide, they only need to hide the scarlet light in their eyes, and at the same time, if they don't shoot casually, they basically can't find it.
The battle on the sea has been going on like this, and it seems that as long as they wait for a while, Whitebeard and the others may have gathered the forces that are willing to resist the invasion together, and at the same time launch a final general attack on the Scarlet Legion Invasion Commander Jones above Mary Joy.
In the face of such a situation, the Scarlet Legion seemed to suddenly fall silent, as if it had not seen such a form at all, but from time to time sent some of their people out and scattered in the great route, and there was no other action in the rest.
That is, when Whitebeard and the others were integrating various forces step by step, a piece of news appeared in the sea, that is, the two Four Emperors who were killed by Whitebeard before actually appeared in everyone's sight.
Hearing such news, Whitebeard didn't care too much about it, after all, he had already killed the other party once before, and he was not afraid that the other party would appear, it was a big deal to kill it once, after all, this is the confidence from the strong.
However, as Locke and the others returned from cultivation, and at the same time brought the Xia Emperor to the New World to meet with Whitebeard, Whitebeard and the others changed their views, and were ready to leave them behind and kill each other completely before Kaido and them returned to Mary Joa.
As for why there was such a change, of course, Emperor Xia, who was brought back by Locke, listened to the other party's analysis of the current situation, and only then did he analyze with the other party what those people from the Scarlet Legion were doing.
That is, the people of the Scarlet Legion are only showing such silence, everything is just a façade, they have already sent people to blend in with them, as long as the war with them completely begins, these people will appear in the back and give them a fatal blow.
As for how they mixed up with the detection of the formation, of course, it was because when they came up to detect whether it was someone from the Scarlet Legion, they all asked themselves to engrave the formation on themselves, as long as they activated the formation in front of others.
Although this is very convenient, it also leaves a hidden danger, that is, although such a formation can restrain them, but after all, it is engraved on the body and must be compressed, so some of the formation patterns will become very small, and it is precisely because the formation patterns have become smaller, if they are slightly changed, they will not be so easy to find, which completely provides an opportunity for the other party to blend in with them.
In the end, Emperor Xia's suggestion was to set up a huge restraint formation directly at each established stronghold, and open it once a day, everyone in the stronghold must enter one of them once a day, and those who join must also walk through it once before they can officially join.
For Emperor Xia's perfect plan for them, although Whitebeard didn't want to suspect that there were spies mixed in by the other party among their people, they still agreed, after all, at this time they were facing an invasion from another world, and they couldn't be too careful.
As for why they pursued the resurrected Kaido, it was because Emperor Xia explained it to the other party when he heard that the aunt actually used the soul fruit.
After all, he himself is a person who has been resurrected from the soul state, of course he knows the strength and mystery of the soul, and he also knows the true potential of the soul fruit, if this fruit falls into the hands of the other party, even if they destroy some people from the Scarlet Legion, they can also use the soul fruit, recruit the souls of those people, find a body for them, and directly resurrect those people.
And if they can get the soul fruit on their side, it is actually a retreat, that is, let Locke use some methods to obtain the ability of the soul fruit, and add his own phantom fruit energy to resurrect them again.
This is not only their retreat, but also a guarantee that they will finally be able to seal the leader of the Scarlet Legion and seal it.
So no matter what, in the mouth of Emperor Xia, the soul fruit will be the most critical point in their subsequent formal war.
As for the ability of this soul fruit is so strong, why did the other party release the other party to test the combat power on their side, it may also be because the blood energy itself has a certain soul ability, so they don't pay too much attention to it, Whitebeard can only guess like this.
Although Whitebeard has some doubts about this statement, since the other party has analyzed them so much, it doesn't matter whether it is useful or not, it is right to grab it anyway.
